Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Voltage, V = Current, I x Resistance, R (V is directly proportional to I where R is constant of proportionality)

This means that when Voltage is increased, Current increases and when voltage is decreased, current decreases (and the inverse is true). Through all this though, resistance remains constant regardless.
